Ban Drama from the homepage.

It's been getting more and more frequent- people saying they're going to quit because they aren't popular, people starting flame wars over stupid things, and people whining over some disease they don't actually have to get sympathy views.

I'm all fine with people being pathetic and trying to force attention onto themselves, but please, keep it off the frontpage. Te frontpage is a place where WELL DESERVED games and animations go. lately it's just been drama-central. Please help put a stop to it by boycotting projects like these, by not viewing them, faving them, or loving them. ITS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

It's true, I hate that people got projects on the front page about Doody leaving and stuff. That does not deserve to be there.

Re: Ban Drama from the homepage.

mmmm... I agree. I think it may be better, though, to let them make those projects. They'll find out the hard way why that's not the best choice for publicity. O_O

Re: Ban Drama from the homepage.

The frontpage is automated. You can't stop the masses from doing as they please. That is why a lot of undeserving projects get on the frontpage.

Re: Ban Drama from the homepage.

I agree, it was geting really annoying with all the "I hope you are happy jerks!" and "I QUIT!!"ext. stuff on top viewed. I think it's pathetic, But if it can't be stoped then I guess we just gotta deal with it. -_-

Idk... to me, Scratch is just like it was before. xP Maybe it's just that we need to accept the fact that everything changes over time. xP

Re: Ban Drama from the homepage.

Your right, the front page is meant to be a place where inspiring well deserving projects have the opportunity to be displayed. Depressing, convicting projects with no other purpose but to draw sympathy do not deserve the front page and should not be welcome.

Yup, most people would agree that '07 and the first 8 months or so of '08 when newareagle was still here was the best time Scratch had when games dominated. Now the dominant party is cats, anthros, tokis, and hamsters. As well as I QUIT!! projects.

Good. I think I hadn't joined yet when the doody arguement happened, or I didn't really pay much attention to Scratch at the time.
